Randomized Controlled Trial
Prophylactic use of pregabalin for prevention of succinylcholine-induced fasciculation and myalgia: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.
Succinylcholine is commonly used to achieve profound neuromuscular blockade of rapid onset and short duration. ⋯ Pregabalin 150mg prevents succinylcholine-induced fasciculations and myalgia and also decreases the fentanyl consumption in elective sine surgery.
